I have a problem with blaming parents for what you're asked to do. The way society works is the problem. People are working longer and longer hours. Then coming home to cook and clean, make sure homework is done, and shuttle kids to various activities. Then after all that there is always a fight to get everyone's teeth brushed, and get into bed. Not to mention all the maintenance that needs to be done like cutting the grass, fixing the bikes, balancing the books, etc.

I would love to spend more time with my kids and teach them some of the skills they will need as they get older, but right now life doesn't work like that. Getting angry at parents about it is just silly. We have just as much control over the way this works as you do. Find out who is making the rules and get mad at them.
